We have always loved staying at the Cove and have been coming here since it first opened. First, the Cove pool is closed (relocated to a previously vacant pool area) until December. We were not informed of this prior to booking.At check-in at the hotel we were still not informed about the pool closure, nor that work was being done on the Cove rooms Monday through Saturday 8am-6pm. They also did not inform us that both poolside restaurants at the Reef and the Cove were also closed. Not only did we have to find this all out on our own, once we did find out and contacted the front desk staff, they offered no compensation in room upgrade, decreased pricing, or any type of “perk” to correct the situation for disgruntled frequently returning guests. Additionally, once at the “relocated pool” location, the nearest woman’s restroom was a 10 minute walk away to the children’s pool. These restrooms were always out of toilet paper, showed no sign of maintenance, and many of the stall doors didn’t even lock. For those traveling with young children, the absence of door locks on bathroom stalls would alarm me.
The Cove remodeling could have gone much better if it had been better-planned, and guests were alerted with some good PR prior to the remodel. Upgrades, discounts, and offering perks (free water and soda to start would have been nice), and a lot better customer service, would have gone a long way!!
